Success is relative so it varies with individuals in accordance with your objectives and goals. This means what constitutes success to one person may not be to another and to discuss this in a generals sense that will satisfy everybody is a tall order. However, it will make sense to start by saying that success is in the eyes of the beholder, you are supposed to be the person who will ultimately determine the number of PSAs that correspond to your perceived meaning of success as it relates to you.

Having said that, note that sponsorship is not about quantity but quality, so how many PSAs you currently have that satisfy your objectives of success out of the numerous ones in your team in terms of direct commission, VP match or even ECA royalties? It could be 3, 5, 10s, 100s, 1000s depending on their level of activity and how deep you are able to build and duplicate.

The measure of success may be influenced by your personal profile or status, for example, financial circumstances, SFI as a second income Vs SFI as a first and/or only income and other commitments. Does it therefore mean you should remove your foot from the pedal once you have reached that level of perceived success? NO, because success is a journey and not a destination, so it is subject to rough rides and inconvenience which should always motivate us to aim as high as we can in order to stay successful and be more successful.

Tips:

1. Become at least an EA monthly
2. Work to sponsor 5 active affiliates
3. Teach these 5 affiliates to do exactly what you did or are doing in these 3 steps

Step 2 is very important because it is at that stage you make a strategic decision regarding who you can work with or those you need to develop because out of the abundance of your PSAs, at a point you need to work with the workers (they could be more than 5 anyway) as Gery would say. The effect of these 3 steps is to build your team as deep as possible in order to establish a sustainable and successful SFI business.

The question is good, however, it is not the number of people you sponsor, it is in the quality of whom you sponsor.

I always like to qualify my prospects, I don't like get a bunch of PSAs that I don't know and then beg them to work.

I go to all the social media sites, I visit and I write for some of the sites and that is how I get the word out. I also look for people who are looking for what I have to offer.........therein is the key........when you do that, you have got a new prospect/new customer......then you become a supplier, not just a salesman....

I am a supplier, I make things happen!

First the number of affiliates you need to sponsor is hard to say. I personally have a lot of them that start for a short time and stopped, others have registered and stopped there. So the number of affiliates I need to become successful is impossible to say. However you only need a few active ones.
How many active affiliates do I need to become successful. Again that is hard to say, because that my friend will depend on your goals,what you concider success.
For me, at this point I only need one a month to be successful. Because most of the ones I have have not been very active at all.
Once I start getting one a month, my new goal will be to have two a month. I must be sucessful sponsoring one a month before I concider not having two unsuccessful.
Then again being successful can mean sponsoring enough affiliates to make a comfortable living,or to become fairly well off.
So my answer to how many active affiliates do i need to build a successful business? It depends on what you consider a successful business.

Hi Alvin,

This is quite a question, with many possible answers.

I would think it depends on you! Decide how much "rewards" (commission) you'll want to earn.
Which, being said, All of us here would like to Earn a huge amount.

You'll have to decide on the best amount of team members for you, though, by asking yourself:
1. How much time can you invest in your team?
2. Do you have persistence and the ability to keep on Motivating people which usually are assigned as your PSA/CSA and stay inactive.
3. Do you have a 'Commitment' to keep Trying and not loose hope in the event of #2.

I guess there would be more questions you should ask yourself then, but I'll stick with these to start off.

With all of this being said : SFI per "The Plan" suggests at least 5 active Members, but I'm sure you'll want a Huge Income based on Commissions you can earn :
So, you'll need LOTS of team members to achieve this.

I myself wish for at least 15-20 Active members and hope to achieve this soon.

BUT keep in mind to be Patient in building your Downline - SFI is (sadly) not for everyone, although WE love our SFI job and wish that our downline could experience the same love we have grown through working here.

Blessings and Good luck on finding your Movers and Shakers very soon indeed.

The term that I use is, "5 to Thrive". By concentrating on building a 5 affiliate base, then helping those 5 (each building a 5 base), down through 12 levels, there is no limit to what you can do!

Using the 5-Base formula, you are easily a millionaire by the time you are 6 levels deep (that's based on each affiliate in your down-line having 5, doing basic qualifying status)

I am not suggesting that because you have 5 to stop recruiting, but I do suggest that you jump in and help your PSA's reach their 5, and make sure they understand to do the same for their first 5.

Depending upon your goals, success can be obtained with a solid, "5 to Thrive" formula.

To build a successful business at SFI, you will need 5 active affiliates for a start. This should not stop you from building your team of PSAs. My answer is, there should not be a restriction on how many number of new affiliates you need to sponsor monthly.

Simply because, in this business there are no guarantee that those active PSAs will stay active forever. You will never know when suddenly they will opt out or become inactive. Same goes to the inactives, suddenly will wake up and overtake you within short period of time. These are the possibilities. So, why take the risk of putting a fix numbers to your sponsoring plans!

Go for as many as you can, By using many ways, method of sponsoring. Be it buying from SFI, ECAs or own marketing strategy. The more we sponsor, the better rate of success we should be looking at.

You always should sponsor affiliates based on your marketing strategy. How much money do you want to make? This number is going to be different for different people but I'm sure that everyone wants to make as much money as they need to reach their goals. Most affiliates want to improve their lifestyle. An extra 300 dollars a month will improve your lifestyle. Others want to be wealthy. That's financial independence. Still others want enough to secure a good retirement. Considering that the average person is going to live another 20 years after they retire, that amount is substantial!

For 60 affiliates who commit to a 200pk transfer buy will earn you $597.60. That's only 2 affiliates per day. Maybe that will be sufficient for a time for the person who wants to improve their lifestyle. For the person that wants wealth, a marketing strategy that duplicates 2 affiliates per day down through 13 generations (46,800 affiliates) who commit to a 200pk transfer buy will definitely be a good start! As far the person that wants to secure a good retirement they need to duplicate through several generations plus create multiple streams of income. To retire for 20 years, you need to be able to sustain a comfortable living without ever having to work again! Different strokes for different folks!

This is a very specific job. It does not matter how much PSAs you have but it is important how your PSAs work.

You can have a million PSAs but if they do not do absolutely nothing or just doing daily task, if they are inactive, if they are not interested in the process of duplication, then it just like you don't have a single PSA. Even worse than that, because you've put time and effort into a team that is not working.This is why SFI keeps repeating us to do with the workers.

This is a fair system because forcing sponsors to help associates.

As Gery said, find 5 active PSA workers that will duplicate your success. These 5 PSAs will then find 5 more active PSAs under them and the process goes on and on. My suggestion is to find 1 new PSA each month that is really active. Each new PSA should be followed up as needed to show them how to duplicate their business.

Be there to help your PSAs and their PSAs, etc. to build a very strong team. Just go at the speed that you feel comfortable with.
